This has been out for a little while now, but turns out I never announced the release here.

I made a game for Ludum Dare #11 by the name of Tiny Hawk. It placed #5 in the overall category, and I got a lot of good feedback on it. It was featured on some indie game blogs too. So yeah, it was a mild success, but I was pretty happy with it.

Fast forward to September 2010, when PoV announced the October Challenge. I decided I would try my hand at making a Flash game and getting it licensed through Flash Game License. At first I thought I would make a 1:1 port of the original LD entry version of Tiny Hawk, but ended up making a bunch of changes to the gameplay and making 32 all new levels. I do think it maintains the core of the original, but improves upon it. I was able to get a sponsorship deal from GameBods.com and the game’s also done decently well on Kongregate. I recently sold a non-exclusive license to Armor Games, where the game has been pretty popular. The game has been played over 300,000 times on different sites. The feedback has been a bit mixed, but some people like the game a lot, so I’m pretty happy about that.
